The NRSV files available on this website contain the most recent updates. When you publish the NRSV, you are responsible to ensure that you are using a version that includes these updates. There are two options for ensuring that your files are up to date: (1) you can download the most up-to-date files for use in publications or (2) you can verify your previously acquired files against the errata below and apply updates as needed.
The following is a list of all updates applied by Scribe (in conjunction with NCC’s Bible Translation and Utilization Committee) and the dates on which they were applied. You need only update your text using the errata that are subsequent to your download date. If you do not know your previous download date, it is recommended that you check your files against all errata or download the current files to guarantee all content is up to date.
Licensees will be notified when new errata are added and must update all products as needed—in the next print run of printed products or as soon as possible in digital products.
